The open-air film festival of La Villette returns from July 19 to August 20, 2023 in Paris! On the program: a month of free and open-air film screenings, to be followed while lounging on the great lawn of La Villette. For this new edition, the theme is Team Spirit!

The open-air cinema at La Villette is one of the must-see events of theParisian summer. This year, from July 19 to August 20, 2023, we're once again delighted to be part of this free film festival, where you can (re)discover cinema classics, new films and unexpected nuggets.

Join us from Wednesday to Sunday, on the fresh grass of the La Villette lawn or comfortably seated on a deckchair to enjoy these screenings under the stars! Access to the cinema is free as long as seats are available, and only deckchairs are available at a cost of €7 (€20 for 5), with a blanket included. The theme of this year's festival is "Team Spirit": just the thing to warm us up in the run-up to the 2024 Olympic Games!

The La Villette Film Festival offers a total of over twenty evenings to immerse yourself in the seventh art, while enjoying the mild summer evenings in the capital! Children won't be left out either, with a dedicated program on Saturday July 22 and Sunday July 23, 2023, with the Little Cinéma d'été !

And don't forget the Eté du Canal boat cruises offering guided tours of the Canal de l'Ourq - just before heading out onto the lawn for the giant screen projections.
